Started hearing coyotes in the area but on the other side of the road about 2003. A year later final started hearing them on my side of the road. Started hunting them hard out just about every day, got permission from all around my block of land and got some friends (5) to hunt with me. Put so much pressure on them I haven't heard a coyote howl in a couple years till early one morning in November way off in the distance.
Just about every day one of my friends calls and asked about us going out after coyotes, just a short time when is closed to hunt them here in Michigan do we give them a rest. Added benefit has been the extra cash in our pockets from the fur, more deer living to hunting season, more red tails in the area, And just the trigger practice.
We now have permission to hunt other game in 4 counties as a result of helping farmers get rid of problem coyotes too.
